Workaround:

On the steam window click on "<USERNAME>" -> "PROFILE" to get to your own steamcommunity PROFILE PAGE.
It should show you the text "Currently In-Game <Game name>" and under it [Join Game] and [Watch Game] BUTTONS.
Right click the [JOIN GAME] button and choose "COPY LINK ADDRESS".
PASTE THE LINK to the players you want to invite. It should be a link starting with "steam://joinlobby/"

This fix doesn't work for me, it just creates a link to my profile page :\

It only works if the exact "copy link address" is there.

But in the new steam chat this link isnt even clickable anymore. They broke it.

what sort of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is this! How could they possibly stuff it up so badly from the previous update where you clicked on your friend and (s)he joined game. Jesus!

the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nonsense exists for view (friends) game info. If you're already in a steam game the button's there, but it shows nothing,, nada, zilch. Have they got 13 y/olds doing the coding now?
